Resumen
En The True Intellectual System of the Universe Ralph Cudworth utiliza una gran cantidad de fuentes para reconstruir algunas doctrinas del pasado. En este trabajo propongo prestar atención al uso que realiza el inglés de la obra de Plutarco de Queronea. La hipótesis que guía el trabajo sostiene que Cudworth hace uso de esa obra como fuente del pensamiento antiguo a pesar de no estar enteramente de acuerdo con su interpretación de Platón. Esto significa que se aprecian dos niveles de lectura de las obras de Plutarco: por una parte, la exposición como fuente de otros autores; y por otra, la interpretación que el propio Plutarco realiza de las fuentes, en especial, de Platón. Esto me permitirá obtener algunas conclusiones sobre la labor de Cudworth como historiador de la filosofía y su relación con la filosofía platónica.
“Plutarch in ‘The True Intellectual System of the Universe’”. In The True Intellectual System of the Universe Ralph Cudworth uses a great deal of sources in order to reconstruct past doctrines. In this paper, I propose that we pay attention to the way he uses Plutarch of Chaeronea’s work. The hypothesis that guides this article sustains that Cudworth uses this work as a source of ancient thought despite not totally agreeing with his interpretation of Plato. This means that Plutarch’s work has two levels of reading: on the one hand, its exposition as a source of other authors; and, on the other hand, the interpretation that Plutarch himself makes of his sources, especially, of Plato. This will allow me to draw some conclusions concerning Cudworth’s work as a historian of philosophy and his relationship with Platonic philosophy.
